About the Item
A good authentic Chandigarh easy chair. Artisanally and locally made with pegged solid teak in the 1960s. This type is known as the cane and teak wood armchair/easy chair. The assymetric compass type legs are beautifully proportioned with the seat and back.
Previously restaured preserving their patina and sturdy enough for everyday use with new caning. The original lettering and numbering (referring to their place in one of the government buildings still present. All original screws and pegged troughout.
The way Jeanneret designed these chairs is a wonderful example of modernist ideas paired with craftmanship and classical proportions. Together with the amazing story of Chandigarh these iconic pieces are as much a conversation piece as artworks as utilitarian.

"Office Armchair" by Pierre Jeanneret, circa 1955
By Pierre Jeanneret
Located in London, GB
Authentic 'Office Chair' from the administrative buildings of Chandigarh (Ref. PJ-SI-28-B).
In excellent condition - joints have been restored and cane work replaced.
Pierre Jeanneret (22 March 1896 - 4 December 1967) was a Swiss architect who collaborated with his cousin, Le Corbusier, designing furniture for Le Corbusier's vast modernist complex at Chandigarh. Jeanneret remained for over 15 years as the project’s chief architect and the city remains a masterpiece of the modern vision. The pair pioneered a new aesthetic that placed function and order over embellishment—Jeanneret’s work imbuing the strict geometry of modernism with lighter materials like cane and wood.
Jeanneret also collaborated with other modern masters, Charlotte Perriand on experiments in aluminium and wood, and Jean Prouve developing prefabricated housing.
